Vintage Love

For those of you who have followed my blog for a while you will know my signature style...vintage Peter Pan collar dresses, capes and bloomers! I love working with vintage fabrics to create something new and fresh!

For this design challenge I used my classic elements and added to them. I tried to include everything I love to sew - dresses, capes, bloomers, dolls, and quilts!

A lovely little vintage collection!

To see more of the capes, bloomers and dresses I have made in the past visit Shorties HERE or click through some posts HERE!

Oh, how sweet!When I was a kid (older than your daughter, maybe 8 or 9) my mother made me an a-line dress with hot pink flowers all over it. I was too old for bloomers, of course, but I think that cape would have looked great with my outfit. I even wore a pink bow in my hair, had pink and green lovebeads and...get this...pink fishnet stockings! Yes, it was the 60s. So nice to see some retro looks coming back for kids. And that doll you made to match--too precious!
